Hello Everyone; My name is Devin, I am a freelance graphic, webpage/element, business logo/business card, t-shirt designer. I have been working on and off in these fields for about 10 years until the middle of last year when the Department of Veteran's Affair's deemed me 100% from my injuries sustained on my last tour of duty in Iraq. So rather than doing nothing, which is very hard for me to do, I started offering freelance work to local business and various Facebook contacts that I have acquired. This was not something I allowed to take up a considerable amount of time until a few months ago when my wife and I decided to launch an online store that sells apparel for men, women and children that showcase all my creations. My wife is currently learning as well, guided by an innate ability to reach the same skill level that I have reached, and more than likely to surpass it. As far as my specific experience, I created my first webpage in high school using frontpage without any formal training. Since then it was a hobby until i was injured. Since then i have learned, and become quite efficient at, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Fireworks/Muse. I have created my online store, endlezzdesignz.com, which every aspect was done by me (which is an ongoing project). I also have quite a few designs I have created and sold such as logo's, t-shirts, business stationary designs and so on. I do hope I can find something to add to my portfolio and add another revenue stream for my family. If there is anything else that anyone reading this would like to know, please do no hesitate to ask. I am also very task-oriented, creative, driven, devoted and very flexible. I do hope we can do business soon!
